I've come to understand that middle aged women may refer to their husbands as
あなた when talking to them. If a wife is talking to a friend or work colleague,
how would she refer to her husband?

Also for younger people around school/university age, would 君【きみ】 be used as a
similar thing for a girlfriend to refer to her boyfriend? If not what would
be?
